Kavli Affiliate: Timothy A. Ryan | Authors: Kirsten Bredvik and Timothy A Ryan | Summary: Inhibitory neurons shape the brain’s computational landscape and rely on different cellular architectures and intrinsic properties than excitatory neurons. Maintenance of the overall balance of excitatory (E) versus inhibitory (I) drive is essential, as disruptions can lead to neuropathological conditions, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roderick MacKinnon | Authors: Ziao Fu and Roderick MacKinnon; | Summary: In this study we used cryo-electron microscopy to determine the structures of the Flotillin protein complex, part of the Stomatin, Prohibitin, Flotillin, and HflK/C (SPFH) superfamily, from cell-derived vesicles without detergents. It forms a right-handed helical barrel consisting of 22 pairs of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: UnJin Lee, Cong Li, Christopher B Langer, Nicolas Svetec and Li Zhao | Summary: Spermatogenesis is a key developmental process underlying the origination of newly evolved genes. However, rapid cell type-specific transcriptomic divergence of the Drosophila germline has posed a significant technical barrier for comparative single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-Seq) studies. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael W. Young | Authors: Michael Young, David M Booth, David Smith, Marco Tigano, Gyorgy Hajnoczky and Suresh Joseph | Summary: The activation of IP3 receptor (IP3R) Ca2+ channels generates agonist-mediated Ca2+ signals that regulate a wide range of biological processes. It is therefore surprising that CRISPR induced loss of all three IP3R […]
